but one faded, precious, manuscript, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight calls forth with
exceptional brilliance and mordant precision a chthonic force rarely investigated in other works
of the later Middle Ages. Unquestionably, this poem would have been challenging even to its first
readers in the turbulent fourteenth century, and so the present volume brings to bear all the
advantages of the Norton Critical Edition format 8213 superlative translations, comparative
source and background texts, and landmark critical studies 8213 to facilitate an access made
even more challenging (but no less enticing) by the passage of centuries. 8221 ?Stephen H. A.
